i have a very large M&H bag but its rubbish, it keeps tilting over when i wheel it along

Is that the T1?

[GarrettJ]

its not last seasons its the big cream coloured one.

The handle isnt great so its twists if you havent packed your bag neatly like a soldier

[thecord]

Ah right, I know the one. Wasn't a fan of the colour on that one, looks a pig to keep clean

[thecord]

I use the HitsHard wheelie which is identical to the pod pro. Fits all batting kit? Keeping kit, whites and helmet with bat cave underneath.

Anywhere you can direct me to pics of this one Chris? Don't think I've seen it

I've just got meself one of the new GN impact pro bags.

I've got the Affinity Cricket Wheelie Bag...Think it's similar to the MH T1 in terms of design and dimensions. Three padded bat cave, fits pair of batting pads, pair of wk pads, two pairs of batting gloves, two pairs of wk gloves, helmet and two pairs of shoes plus other odds and ends....if packed neatly I am sure it can accommodate an extra helmet as well.

One thing we've learned recently, especially after doing all our bag reviews, is that you don't need an especially large bag to fit a full set of wicket keeper's kit in.  Pretty much all senior cricket bags are designed to take one of everything, including keepers' kit.  You can even get it all in a medium sized duffle.  I guess the issue is whether you have two pairs of pads, two helmets etc. or multiple bats, and if the answer is yes, we always recommend the M&H T1 or Newbery Tour as these are our personal favourites at IJC.

I'm clearly not packing my kit right if that's the case. My last bag was a GM original Duplex wheelie which I thought was a pretty large bag and I couldn't get all my gear in that, had to carry my lid separately. That was just 2 bats and one set of everything else too so nothing excessive

I'm currently in the market for a new bag as well. My existing bag is a Slazenger one that I've owned for the past decade or so, and it is still going strong, but I can't fit all my kit in now that I've taken up keeping again for the past two seasons (I stopped at 18, started again at 23). As it stands I can fit all my kit bar my helmet, boots, and clothes - and it is now at a point where I'm either juggling everything, or having to make multiple trips to-and-fro from the car, so it is time to make a change! 

I had a look at IJT's youtube reviews, some really good stuff on there. Currently my shortlist is down to:

• Millichamp and Hall T2, maybe T1
• Newbery Tour stand up cricket bag
• Salix Pod One tri wheeled bag

Any thoughts on these bags? Also, are there any alternatives of a similar size to consider?

Ideally I'd like a bag with a helmet pocket, another for my boots, and perhaps one for clothing, but not against having everything in one large bit in the main section. 

Also, I've seen some two tier bags. Are these bags worth considering?

[thecord]

I've been told that the T2 is probably not big enough for a keeper with all that kit and that the T1 would be a better bet.
The GN1000 has been getting some praise too

[ItsJustCricket]

The GN1000 is another one I neglected to mention that should be added to the list, but Mike1989 has singled out all our favourites, so whichever one of those you guys go for, you won't be disappointed.

Has anyone got their hands on a CK22 bag yet?

Unlikely, Tom.  They aren't even available yet! Should be by the end of the month, though.

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Ah ok mate, didnt realise they havent hit the shelves yet.

After a duffle to take to nets that I can fit some training kit in with as ours are ok for the essentials but need to pack cones/balls etc that are excess to the usual kit requirements.
